   Hey, leave the poor harpists alone. They have it bad enough already, toting those huge things everywhere and then always having to tune every darn string once they get there.

   No, they are not. I chose the name back when we were having to change our email address every couple of months, and it was getting harder to come up with new monikers. I was determined not to resort to using my (then) street address, but kept getting an “already in use” message for every try. I was also doing this in a room with my daughter, who was impatient to get going wherever it was we were going. Finally, in frustration, I used “aphasia” (never thinking it was going to be with me for so long), and the worst part was that that name, too, had already been used; no doubt I wasn’t the first who had the problem. In frustration, I gave up and added the street number. And then, contrary to my expectation at the time, yahoo did NOT go out of business like all those other email providers before it, and I was stuck unless I wanted to mass-email a new address to everyone in my contacts list. Bugger. But no, although I temporarily had difficulty thinking of a word that was usable lo, those twenty and more years ago, I’m still doing OK with words. Thanks for your concern.

   OK, kids, listen up: You take the fitted sheet and spread it on something — a bed or, if you have one, a big table — upside down. Then you make sure the corners are squared flat. Then you fold the thing. It isn’t as flat as when you buy it, but it’s flat. Why fold it? Because the linen closet is a lot easier to navigate when the stuff in it is flat. And no, I don’t have an engineering degree or experience in the clothing-folding industry. I just figured it out after many years of frustration. One advantage of getting very, very old.

   It’s not ignorance, dear. You’re just WAAAY younger than those of us to whom the reference was crystal clear. :) Best enjoy it before you, too, become old enough to “remember when”.

   The position Ohman is taking is that, with some conflicts, “Never again” just means “Until the next time.”

   Reminds me of the hilariously absurd denouement in Terry Pratchett’s “Monstrous Regiment”.

   You’re better off without friends like that.

   Pennies to a magnet? Is that too technologically complicated for most of us to get the joke?

   Don’t forget “I alone can fix it” as a caption for a picture of Hitler.

    This cartoon appears to have been censored at GoComics.com. WTF???
